3/19: Edinburgh/Newcastle

We stayed at Gavin's flat and went exploring in the morning. Turns out, we were about 10 minutes away from Edinburgh Castle! A real live castle!

We couldn't figure out why they had made a monument dedicated to a dog, but we took pictures anyway. James, Tom, Scott, Lee.

"I CLAIM THIS DOG IN THE NAME OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!"

Edinburgh was gorgeous.

We found a pub that had steak, mash potatoes and veggies for £4.99! Ate like kings, we did.

The drive to Newcastle was about 3 hours and was one of the longest of the UK tour. Can you believe that?! This is Pulled Apart By Horses soundchecking at the venue in Newcastle.

The opening band was Castrovalva, just drums and bass. Kind of Lightning Bolty, in a good way.

The big fire extinguisher brand over here is Chubb. This is Chubb Foam.

New friends in Newcastle. We felt obliged to drink Newcastle Brown Ale, seeing as how we were in Newcastle.

After-show dance party.

All in all, Newcastle was a great time. We stayed in a flat above the venue where the promoters lived. Great!
